Seriously, does Trump want to win?

Today the Trump campaign released its tentative convention schedule and hinted that Mike Pence will be his Veep. I'm beginning to wonder if Trump wants to lose. The convention schedule is not only light on politicians and heavy on nepotism in its speaker list, it promises to highlight two of the least effective scandals that the have been ginned up against the Clintons: Benghazi!TM and the Bill Clinton sex scandals.

The focus on Benghazi!TM and Bill's sex scandals are especially puzzling because that email scandal has really seemed to hurt Hillary's popularity. I personally don't think there is much to the email scandal. But rightly or wrongly, it has done actual damage to Clinton's candidacy. They finally a scandal that seems to work, but instead they will go with that tired old stuff that doesn't.
